Filming reflection

For our shoot in Liverpool we intending to spend the first day scouting out the area and finding the easiest (and cheapest, I have lost my debit card and only had £25 for the entire trip) bus routes to the planned locations, testing equipment and recording some atmos tracks. For the second day we planned to go to each location sequentially (we had initially planned to split into two units and do two locations each, but were put off by our peers who had stated that they had tried this method in the path and it didn't work out so well in smaller groups) and get a list of shots from each location depending on the weather, how we were feeling and what we thought worked well in comparison to other shots. What actually happened on both days was an amalgamation of this, we weren't as organized as I had planned and as such didn't gain such a variety of shots, as well as the time restrictions we also struggled with the difference in weather, Another Place in particular showed us it's full range of weather, rain, lots of wind (which I fear interferred with our interviews), clouds and as much sun as we wanted whenever we weren't shooting. Overall, I am pretty happy with what we filmed on the day and i'm more than pleased regarding the sound we recorded. Particularly I enjoyed the Tunnels despite their diminuitive size, I was expecting them to be a lot bigger, they gave us quite good, albeit dark footage.
